100 PSI enough to dry engine?

Thinking of buying a pancake air compressor, which is 100psi, to dry my engine after cleaning. Any comments or thoughts would be appreciated. (Cost less than master blaster)

You'll have a volume problem, not a pressure problem. Air compressors also aren't meant to run 100% of the time (usually). So if it's running all the time to fill that small tank, the motor could burn out. However, my cheap 26 gallon does a fair job.

Good point AdamL. I didn't think of that. Have you tried the Sidekick Blaster?

I have a pancake one from harbor fright I like it but you can't run anything off of it. I use it to clean MF pads and door jams and that's all I use it for. If you want to just do what I do it's great.

... Masterblaster??

leafblower, cheaper and more effective.

I don't how a leaf blow is more effective than the master blaster. Yes its cheaper but definitely not more effective. The master blaster has attachments made to get into tight areas.

I use the leaf blower off my craftsman vacuum with the car attachments and it works great so far.

I know! 300.00 though

If you just drying the car leaf blow is great. But if you want to blow out inside of car get a compressor. Go to Harbor Freight.
